Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation and Hygiene

The Indonesia Urban Water Sanitation
and Hygiene (IUWASH) project is a sixty-month program funded by the United States
Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented under the
leadership of DAI. IUWASH works with government, the private sector, NGOs,
community groups and other stakeholders to improve access to safe water supply
and sanitation in Indonesia’s urban areas. The overall goal of IUWASH is to
assist the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in making significant progress in
achieving its safe water and sanitation Millennium Development Goal (MDG)
targets by expanding access to these services. The expected results to be
achieved are: 2 million people in urban areas gain access to improved water
supply; 250,000 people in urban areas gain access to improved sanitation
facilities; and the per unit water cost paid by the poor in targeted areas
decreases by at least 20%. To achieve the above, assistance provided by the
project is divided under three main technical components, including:

1.Mobilizing demand
for water supply and sanitation service delivery (MD);

2.Improving and
expanding capacity for water and sanitation service delivery (IC); and

3.Strengthening
policy and the financial enabling environment for improved water supply and
sanitation service delivery (EE).

As IUWASH’s high-level results seek
separate target numbers of households with improved access to water and
sanitation, the targeted outcomes for these components will include:

EE 4At least 40,000 of
low income households accessing micro finance for household improvements in
water and sanitation

IUWASH will apply Behavior Change
Communications approach to raise demand amongst project population targets. The
intervention will address water; sanitation and hygiene (WASH) at community and
institution level. Several community mobilization approaches to accomplish this
result have recently been piloted by USAID/Indonesia and others. Such programs
include: individual (SAN1), community-based (SAN 2) and offsite (SAN 3)
sanitation systems, improved sludge (septage) management (SAN 4) and
strengthening of sanitation institutions (SAN 5). To strengthen the IUWASH North
Sumatera Regional Team, an additional position is made available for BCC Capacity Development and Sanitation
